OK. I know I  should  label cuttings.
Can anyone tell be which these three are?
 The variety  will have to wait until they flower.
Thank you.

    They look like Penstemons.
    Dordogne and Norfolk

    They look like Penstemons to me too. 🙂

    Great! I hoped they were. Thanks @Busy-Lizzie
    Cuttings roulette easily avoided with a bit of foresight 😐

    Those pictures could have been mine @B3! I've got identical plants in my greenhouse, cuttings from last year, and I know I took both penstemon and gaura sigh 🙄

    Number 3 looks like gaura  😀I'm growing some at the same stage

    It is softer than the other two @WonkyWomble so you may well be right.

    When I get a chance I'll take a photo of mine to compare

    Sorry it's sideways  @B3 they were sown late last summer. 
    Haven't got any penstemon,  they never flower in my garden,  think I might be too crowded 😕

    I was following this thread and it got me thinking... What are the leaf spots that lots of gauras get? I use that as an identifying feature sometimes, but is it normal for the plant to have them?
